What it is	This program teaches you how to design and plan buildings, landscapes, and outdoor spaces, and understand the history and theory behind architecture. It differs from pure design programs because it emphasizes both the creative and technical sides of how buildings and environments are shaped. It suits students who want to study architecture as a discipline before applying to a professional architecture school, or who are drawn to design thinking and the built environment.	A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences.	You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements.
